We have "We Have a Pope" -- again. After the worldwide
excitement surrounding last week's selection of Pope Francis I,
IFC Films has decided to re-release into theaters its 2011 light comedy "We
Have a Pope (Habemus Papum)," and it has already been booked for a return to the
New Orleans area.

The Chalmette
Movies on Monday announced plans for Nanni Moretti's Italian-language film
to play a limited Holy Week schedule at the theater, unspooling at 2 p.m. daily
Friday and Saturday (March 22-23) and
Monday through Wednesday (March 25-27). All tickets are $6.50.

The film stars Michel Piccoli as a newly elected pope who, filled
with self-doubt, decides to take an unannounced sabbatical -- walking away from
the Vatican and strolling the streets of Rome as he struggles to come to grips
with the question of why this awesome new responsibility has fallen to such a
simple and humble man as himself. Meanwhile, hoping to avoid a public-relations
nightmare, the Council of Cardinals stays locked in conclave -- and hopelessly
bored -- while he is tracked down, and the unaware Catholic world wonders why
the heck it's taking so long for their new pope to appear.

Moretti's light but meaningful comedy,
which earned the filmmaker a Golden Palm nomination at the 2011 Cannes Film
Festival, played as part of the New Orleans Film Society's 2012
Film-O-Rama spring screening series. "We Have a Pope" is unrated by the
MPAA but warrants a PG.
